Making smarter, faster and more intuitive Android apps

Android OS dominates the smartphone industry today and Android apps have played an immense role in the popularity of the OS. Earlier this year, the Play Store finally surpassed iTunes in terms of the number of applications it holds. There are over 1 million android applications on the Play Store today, and thanks to the tools that Google offers to developers for Android app development, this number is only going to increase over the coming years.

When Google first launched its Android operating system, iPhone had already destabilised Blackberry, Nokia, and Microsoft to become the most popular smartphones in the world. The whole world was raving over the exceedingly simple to use interface of the device and the sleek and elegant body, which the iPhone came in. Google’s first smartphone in comparison was bulky and slow. Android was considered a second rate operating system and was ridiculed for its lack of quality mobile applications.

A New King Emerges
When Google launched Android, even they could not have predicted the success this operating system would achieve in just a few short years. Today, Android dominates the smartphone market and accounts for well over two-thirds of all smartphones sold in the world. With close to 80% of the world smartphones market controlled by Android, Google is not only a major player in this arena, it has the most successful and popular OS. Today the Play Store, Google’s application store, has over a million applications created by developers from every corner of the world. Android’s applications are its biggest advantage and offer users incredible features no other smartphone does.

Android App development challenges
Application development for the Android platform is not easy. Unlike the iPhone, Android devices are made by dozens of manufacturers and these manufacturers often reconfigure the OS to make it unique for their company. The differences between the various Android devices, even the ones running the same Android version, make Android App development a challenge. Developers have to make sure that their app works on as many devices as possible. 
Some key points that Android developers have to keep in mind are:
  • There are half a dozen flavours of Android that are in use today. Google launches a new version, or flavour, of Android each year, but not all old devices can support new updates, so they continue to run their stock Android version.
  • Android devices are made by over a dozen manufacturers, who use often different binaries and codec. Developers try to make their apps compatible with as many popular devices as possible
  • Even within the same manufacturer’s line of Android devices, variations are present in the form of screen size, processing power, RAM, storage space and graphic engine capabilities.
Since customers get to pick from a wide selection of products, the many variations in Android devices have actually helped the OS become more popular, but the differences have made Android application development a nightmare for the developers.

Java is the primary language used for Android app development, but app development frameworks can be used to create Android apps using several other languages, as well. With Android 4.1 and onwards, Google has incorporated a single design called HOLO and has asked developers to stick to it. This new policy has made developer’s job considerably easier, and Google has also incorporated stricter rules with manufacturers to ensure that there are no compatibility issues between different devices. Google also continues to update its Android SDK, which makes it simpler for developers to create Android apps.

Google Android and the Latest Trends Enveloping the Platform

Android-powered devices are all over the smartphone and tablet devices market since the demand has risen considerably. Android is one of the popular platforms for mobile development companies are engaged in a plethora of Android app development projects.

Since Android is an open source platform, developers have the incredible advantage of making ample use of the technology for innovative mobile apps and projects and also attend to the growing demand from the users.

Mobile developers are particularly adept in harnessing the best qualities of the platform for building applications. Most of them prefer using Java language and also Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) for writing the mobile applications. Also all Android versions from 2.2 Froyo onwards allow Flex to be a language for Android application development projects. Also after this version, all versions support Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR technologies.

Android application developers perform their programming tasks with the help of Android SDK which is becoming more and more feature-rich. But it requires an extremely competent and competitive mobile application development company for testing, debugging and deploying mobile apps.

The Eclipse IDE is one technology which helps in quick Android application development which is convenient and hassle-free for the developers. The technology works well when customized and enhanced using Android plugins, which expands the Android universe and also adds much more features and abilities which were not possible with the vanilla version.

Android Emulators help a great deal when the developers need to ensure if the entire process of mobile application testing and debugging is working well. The emulators are great for getting a virtual view of the end mobile app. The features of the OS are simulated to perfection and also worked virtually on mobile phones and tablets supporting the Android OS.

Android app developers also use the APIs and include a plethora of libraries which help in attributes required for the app. The platform also supports use of C/C++ libraries along with some core media libraries and the SGL graphics engine. One can also utilize the 3D libraries based on OpenGL ES 1.0 APIs for creating apps for the Android 4.0 version.

Mobile app developers who are dedicatedly working for the Android platform opt to publish mobile apps which they have created for sale in the Android Market. This application store helps in distributing free as well as paid Android-based apps. There are more than 500,000 mobile apps in the store right now but the demand for more apps has not subsided. The smartphones which support the Android ecosystem have grown tremendously too. This platform reigns in the mobile application development market due to the sheer size of its ecosystem although it is yet to eclipse the iOS market in the total number of apps in the Apps store.

The Android platform has won over other mobile platforms because it has managed to gain a substantial market share in terms of tablets which were launched since the past year. Many apps were downloaded from tablets alone. Due to their balance in price point factor, many users who cannot afford the pricey Apple products have preferred going for Android. Also, there are multiple options with the platform too.

Android Apps: What you need to know about them

Make yourself acquainted with Android applications and their usage. Android apps are applications that have been typically devised with the Java programming language, in collaboration with the Android Software Development Kit. However, there are other development kits such as Android NDK or indigenous tools for extensions or apps in C/C++.

There is a visual setting which is known as Google App Inventor which the beginners and trainee developers use. This is also used by the multiple phone web-based application framework.

The end-users can get Android apps in two methods. They can get them from an applications store like the Amazon App store and Google Play. They can also download them and set up the APK file of the app from a third-party website.

If you are using the Google Play Store, you can surf through, download, and modify apps that are created by the developers and launched by Google. These apps are featured on Google Play Store and can be pre-installed on gadgets which stick to the compatibility criteria of Google. The list of applications that are well-suited to the gadget is screened by the app. In addition, the app developers might limit their apps to specific bearers or transporters for commercial purposes.

Till the month of September 2012, the number of applications available for Android crossed 650,000 and the projected figure of apps which have been downloaded from the Google Play Store surpassed 25 billion. Statistics say that the number of devices in which Android OS was installed crossed 400 million.

Multitasking of Android Applications
The multitasking feature of Android application has been upgraded with the launch of Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 version. If the users keep pressing the multitasking button or the home button of an Android gadget, a task manager will come up which features a list of the apps which have been opened lately. The users may choose to start using the app in the state it was used on the previous occasion.

Android software development
This is the procedure where new apps are being generated for the Android OS. A survey conducted in June 2011 substantiates that over 67% of cellular phone developers have utilized the Android platform for publishing apps. Mobile developers are finding the platform extremely user-friendly. In the second quarter of the year 2012, approximately 105 million Android smartphones have been sold which represents an overall share of 68% of smartphone sales figures until that quarter.

Android app development tools
The following tools are used for the app development process:
  • Android Software Development Kit (SDK)
  • Android Open Accessory Development Kit
  • Native development kit
  • HyperNext Android Creator
  • App Inventor for Android
  • The Simple project
  • Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL)
  • Basic4android

It is worth mentioning that the app developers always face challenges associated with Java standards since no set standard is used for developing them. For this issue, many tools have been developed which help in Android conversion activities. When you review the credentials and prospects of Android app developers, you must make sure to take following tips into consideration, including experience, location, skills etc.

Have You Seen Jelly Bean Features Yet? Android 4.1 is here!

Android 4.1 version which is nicknamed the Jelly Bean is here with exciting new features. It is expected to create a storm in the coming months too. Google announced Jelly Bean recently and the new operating system brings new and smart features which include a faster interface, a brand new Camera app, voice typing offline, notifications with few enhancements, a voice search tool, and many more. The changes made to the new OS were mentioned as "Project Butter" during the Google I/O developers’ conference which referred to the under-the-hood improvements in progress. There are a lot of buffering tweaks, and increased frame rates which the new Android version boasts of which will help in the overall touch input events in sync better. Jelly Bean also has the new ability of touch prediction which actually means that it tries to predict where you're going to touch the screen next. With the Nexus 7 tablet running Jelly Bean, it is expected that the so-called project is sure to make it run more smoothly than any of the previous Android versions. It is possible that Google will take some time here for finishing the version. One of the other features in the spotlight is offline voice typing. The new version allows users to dictate something to your phone without the need of a cellular or Wi-Fi data connection. Offline voice typing is the latest entrant in the features introduced by the Android version.

Until now, every device which had poor data connection faced the problem of not being able to handle voice-to-text tasks. According to the first previews of the feature, analysts say that the feature is good enough and quick too. Voice recognition is basically controlled in the cloud in the first place since it is easy to match a voice with thousands of samples at the snap of your fingers. So it can be expected that the offline voice-to-text version is less accurate than the previous version, which is actually a minor issue. Google Now is expected to be the future of the tech giant. Google is going to predict what the user will need and will also get it for you easily. The device is expected to know and learn your interests and inclinations and then work up relevant traffic and even minor point-of-interest information. At the start, Google Now is not expected to give much information since it has to know what the user’s interests are. One needs to use it a lot more for actually getting the device accustomed to the user but surely, this is a feature which is one of Jelly Bean's best attributes and has extreme potential in the future. Voice search was revolutionized by Apple’s Siri but Android makes it better with the S-Voice, the Siri competitor which is included in the latest Samsung smartphone, the Galaxy S III. The feature is going to be getting some new add-ons too.

Google's voice search feature is being handled by Knowledge Graph which would depend on Google’s ability to predict answers to your query and the relevant web results follow next. Google's voice search is certainly better than Siri. There are many more features which are offered by Google’s newest Android version, but that is for later, when the real things arrive!
